Birds around Basel - Die Vögel aus Basel und Umgebung
280 species, 823 images, , updated 15. 1. 2025, see also my birding videos and other birding projects. You may wish to check also some "live" bird images (animated images) I have made.
Well, I am taking "around Basel" not so literally here, and although most of the pictures have been indeed taken in the Basel area (they have yellow tags), I included also some interesting species that I observed a little bit farther (with grey tags).
